Didjer Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 i wouldn't expect anything spectacular, but it'll probably get the job done just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyvii Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Nooooooo, It is a PCI card , Go with AGP. less of a choke point. I think you can not go wrong with NVIDIA cards. drivers are so universal. In the race bettween ATI and Nvidia ( gone are the days of 3dfx) nvidia has won all the races execpt once, about 6 months ago ATI got a faster card. But Nvidia is on top now. You can get a 1 generation back card for around 140 to 165 dollors. 128 mb video , 400 mhz dual memory . look for Geforce fx 5600. It comes with 256 mb but the 128 is less expencive. I bought mine at Fry's for $135 on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I wouldnt get that, the radeon 7000 and 8000 series are old outdated cards. If you want a good, cheap low-end card, get a GeForce 4 Ti4200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzy_n8 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 turns out my step-bro was looking in the wrong catagory and he found me a better card, havent had enough time to get the name of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
